USC 52
(a) Prohibition It shall be unlawful for—
1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make—
A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;
But Trump says so what? Laws don't apply to me and I would do it again.
Someone should find the video of the guy he shot on 5th Ave. It won't matter – but the video should be in the Smithsonian.
C'mon Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, or Arizona.
Seriously.
Bill Weld for President.
Will some supporter of the OD(Orange Destruction) please come on this thread and tell me how this is OK? Please tell me how the OD is not a fucking traitor. What does it take?
It is OK with you Powerful Pear? Don't you claim to be a patriot…excuse me…a Patriot? Fluffy? You good with the Commander in Chief of our military inviting foreign governments to spy on us as long as they can provide dirt on his enemies?
Impeach him. Arrest him. Put him in jail. He is a criminal and his administration is a criminal enterprise. Congress…stop talking…ACT!
Something needs to scare the Democrats to their core – the Republicans are beyond saving. Congress needs a figurative bomb dropped on them.
It might not be treason (yet), but failure to uphold his oath of office is pretty much a given:
Acting in his own interests in violation of the constitution isn't treason? Well…it should be.
The OD is set on subverting the Constitution in order to retain power. Give him 18 months more…we may not be able to stop him. Congress needs to act. The people need to make them.
Impeach T***p!
End the GOP.
And a new charge for the impeachment clauses — neglecting to enforce the Hatch Act. A variety of Sad!-ministration staffers. This week, most visibly, Kellyanne Conway. Recommendation from the Office of Special Counsel (the one dealing with Federal employees) — remove her. Kellyanne's response — "Let me know when the jail sentence starts.”
I'm guessing George is not going to be lining up for conjugal visits with her.
Recall Ganahl! The University of Colorado Regent-at-Large has decided being a player in Colorado's right-wing inner circle is more important than money for universities and colleges – and dissemination of political talking points is more important than higher education. Here's Heidi Ganahl from the No on CC release:
"As someone who cares deeply about the future of higher education in Colorado, I know Proposition CC will do nothing to lower tuition or provide long-term support for our public universities. While proponents will promise voters that it will solve our higher education funding issues, there are no guarantees in the measure. It simply creates a slush fund that future politicians in the legislature can spend however they like — and in return, voters are expected to permanently give away their refunds."
Regent Ganahl needs to answer the logical follow-up question to her statement of opposition to Proposition CC: Since she doesn't believe Proposition CC will "lower tuition or provide long-term support for our public universities," what does she believe would accomplish that and what specific policies does she support that will accomplish that.
As a regent, Ms. Ganahl is aware that compared to 1992, the state of Colorado contributes only 25% of the funds they did then to higher education..
As a CU regent she is also aware that a dozen years ago, the state paid for two thirds of the cost for each student attending our public colleges and universities. The student and their parents were responsible for one third of the cost. Today, the student and their parents pay 68% of the cost. What precipitated that reversal. In 2010, Colorado's higher education budget was reduced from $800 million to $500 million in one year which of course mandated very large tuition increases just to keep the doors open.
As a CU regent, she certainly knows the Boulder campus has around $300 million dollars in deferred maintenance to existing campus infrastructure. Its been deferred because the maintenance has remained unfunded for years.
How does she propose to reduce the 68% of the cost now shouldered by each student and their parents unless the state budgets more money for higher education? How does she propose to pay for the deferred maintenance, not only at CU, but at our other public colleges and universities without additional funding?
Perhaps Proposition CC should earmark funds for higher education but I don't believe Regent Ganahl wants to discuss the facts and figures above because it leads to one conclusion – public higher education in Colorado needs more funding to survive and thrive.
This is not an abstract issue either. Seventy percent (70%) of the jobs in our economy require post secondary education. If we do not properly fund our colleges, universities and trade schools, our economy and standard of living will decline.
What you said, R-36. Plus, her quoted statement is pretty clearly designed to mislead. Of course CC is not a means for long-term funding, since money would only be available in years where TABOR refunds would be available, which is uncertain both regarding whether refunds are available at all and how much money is really at stake. Calling CC a "slush fund" is just messaging, since it does specify that the money would be for K-12, higher ed, and transportation, plus it requires an independent audit. That Ganahl's an ideologue in sheep's clothing should not be news to anyone, but now she's using her "bull pulpit" in attempts to deny her own university system some financial shots in the arm. Who is she really working for?
She's working for the anti-reality Colorado GOP.
